The Mirror Of
ChristYou
may object that Christians and their churches have also destroyed the
call of
faith. You may have felt disgust for the
bigotry of Christians, the rigidity of many churches, and the hypocrisy
or
political influence of Christians that seemed so contrary to the life
and
teaching of Jesus. The journey of faith
will reveal that both the terrible and the courageous are a part of
Christian
life, as are failure and success, struggle and hope, joy and anguish. The life of Jesus is the great image that
shines forth as a model for Christians, for it is full of all these
things. The beauty and glory of life
lies within its great struggle. This is
the truth of the life of Jesus that speaks to the human heart. It is this element of struggle that shines
with such strength in the life of Jesus, and causes us to understand
struggle
and courage as central to life’s meaning.

reader's mind. An excellent,
readable guide to bisexuality."
